Maria Yari Salon

I cannot understand the 4 star reviews for this place. I came here b/​c my regular brow threader lady was on vacation and this place got mostly good reviews. I even made sure to ask for Maria to do my brows (which she did). First of all, she missed a whole bunch of hairs on my lids which I didn’t notice until after i left the salon and saw them in the vanity mirror in my car. I had to drive back to the salon and have her clean it up. Worst of all, later that night at home I noticed that my left brow was way thinner then my right! She also threaded both of my brows too thin. So now I have this permanent surprised look on my face. I have to use my trusty Anastasia brow wiz to draw on and even out my eyebrows. Every morning and night when I look in the bathroom mirror at my uneven brows I get so pissed at how horrible my brows look. I have to wait at least a month for my brows to grow back in before I can fix this. Will never come back here again.

I’ve been coming to Maria for YEARS. She used to be with another salon but she opened her own salon now. I don’t trust anyone else with my eyebrows. She’s gentle and shapes them exactly the way I want them shaped. I used to live in Sugarland and it was convenient but now I drive all they way from the Galleria to see her and it’s so worth it. I tried other salons around my area but they always fail me. Maria Yari is the way to go; just make sure that you ask for her because she’s good at what she does.

I been going to Maria Yari for sometime now and she is excellent. She is patient and she listens to exactly how to want your eyebrows done and does a great job at it. I am very picky about my eyebrows but once I started going to her, I’m really happy with how my eye brows look every time. Love her.

been going to maria for over 4 years now! she is the best in the business and
i only trust her with my eyebrows. the salon is super clean and beautiful inside
i recommend all my friends to her when they ask me about my eyebrows!

Stay away! For the sake of your eyebrows stay away! I have heard nothing but great things about Maria, so I decided to try her out the first time last Wednesday. Bad idea!!! The salon was completely empty-​that will tell you something. A younger girl (Maybe in her 20’s) helped me to my chair as I told her I need my eyebrows threaded and dyed (I had called earlier and made sure they dyed eyebrows). I have been growing my eyebrows out for a long time in hopes that they will have some kind of shape. After 10 minutes of constant threading and dealing with a very strong B/​O smell (totally unprofessional) she says okay we are going to dye them now, before I can even look at them in a mirror shes begun dyeing. I sit and wait for another 20 minutes for the dye to set, she goes and gets another lady and they’re all looking at my eyebrows and I just knew something was wrong. She keeps saying «They look really good, this looks really good» as to assure herself of something. I look in the mirror once they’re all done and I just wanted to cry. One of my eyebrows was 10 times smaller than the other, the dye was way too dark and all over my skin, it looked like she had just put two globs of dye on and called it a day. I have scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed and it still hasn’t come off of my skin and I am embarrassed to even walk outside. I had a friend (the same one who told me about Maria Yari) go there about two days later, the same girl did her eyebrows and did the exact same thing!!! I do not recommend this place to anyone! Please find someone else!

I tried threading from maria three times, the first being when she worked at priyas. The first time she threaded my right brow standing on the left side… I already knew at that point that my eyebrows will be uneven. Didn’t like it the first time. So my 2^nd experience with her was 1 month ago when I needed a desperate thread since my lady was in india and I saw her own salon driving… decided to stop by not knowing it was the same gal from priyas. The shape was okay, uneven and she left a lot of baby hairs near my crease area which I was like it’s ok I’ll just pluck it when I get home no biggie. So I decided to try AGAIN since my lady still hasn’t come back from india… I know… shame on me… Third time same deal I asked 3 times after the thread to clean up all the baby hairs she missed… I mean if I asked u the first time to clean all the hairs u missed concentrate a lil and do the job right. I got up looked into the mirror told her again and again. I mean I honestly don’t really like writing bad reviews if I don’t have to but mannn… there are better threaders in the sugar land area so I would definitely check out other places. I guess I will have to wait another month till my lady comes back from india. Unfortunately with 3 of my experiences with maria, I will finally give up on her on threading.

I had a bunch of friends recommend this place when I moved to Sugar Land. So one day I stopped by and only one lady was working and got my eyebrows threaded and had the worst experience — slow and painful (–1 star). I’m fairly certain Kim R. and I had the same person do our brows. So I went back to my friends and asked them why they suggested this place since I thought it sucked and they clarified that I needed to see Maria herself, not just anyone.
So then I went back, and I asked for Maria. She had a bit of a wait and I felt bad because the lady who had done my eyebrows the previous time was there and no one was going to her for threading but I understand why, I hope she does. Maria is awesome. My eyebrows look good, she’s quick and its pretty pain-​free. I would highly recommend going to get your eyebrows done here, but make sure you are going to Maria herself.

If you’d asked me to rate this place an hour ago I’d have given it a solid five stars. I’d been there twice before and both times got great, gentle threading (once by Maria, once by somebody else), really nice results. I’ve been getting my brows threaded for about 20 years and had been going to a place about 20 minutes away so I was really happy to have a new option so close to home.
Today I went in and didn’t recognize the person who did my threading, and I wish I’d gotten her name because I was really not thrilled with my experience. She was so heavy-​handed she broke the thread at least five times while she was working (once, clocking my ear pretty hard with her hand because she’d been pulling so hard that when the thread snapped, her hand jerked back with considerable force). I think I’ve had the thread-​breaking thing happen maybe one time before in two decades of having this procedure done? She worked sloooooowly, catching individual hairs and pulling them slowly out by the roots instead of quickly, so my skin was pretty beaten up by the time she was done and was actually kind of raw/​skinned in one spot. I’m just hoping it doesn’t scab up.
I can only assume this person was new, and everyone has to start somewhere, so I didn’t complain at the time and I still tipped my usual amount. But I really didn’t sign up to be a guinea pig, and I was pretty upset when I got home and saw just how bad the redness and swelling was. Especially since I’d had only great experiences before at this place. Pleasant store, friendly staff, reasonably priced, it really had everything. I’ll probably go back but request anyone other than the new person :-/​Or maybe just go back to the 20-​minute drive.

Tried several places in Sugar Land and Houston and never found a good place but This place is simply amazing ! She is the best !!! I’ve been coming here for almost a year and now a loyal customer. I highly recommend this place to everyone looking for someone who wants a move shape and she is also very gentle when she treads ! Doesn’t hurt a bit

LOVE LOVE LOVE this salon! I always get my eyebrows threaded here and even though it’s 30 minutes away! Great price for services and very welcoming!

This salon is beautiful on the inside. Maria is very very good but she’s heavy handed. Lol. Don’t be scared to look at my messed up pic. Just a little redness in the center of my forehead But I will be back. Thanks Maria. :-)

Great place. The staff is very nice, and the eye brow person is fast and good. Will definitely go back.

Ive been getting my eyebrows done with Maria for 8 years because she does such a great job. I have followed her to all her locations because she leaves me satisfied with her work.
I highly recommend you to get your eyebrows threaded here. Maria does exactly what you ask for, and she makes sure she leaves you satisfied and beautiful.
They also do hair, facials, massages, and much more.
Its a very clean and elegant place. Don’t miss out, you should check it out on your own. You wont regret it.

I just got a hair cut and I told the lady to cut ONE inch and she cut of THREE inches! This place is really overpriced for the service you will get. I have got haircut before for as low as $ 13 and they have been so much better than this! This place charged me $ 25 and did not even shampoo or style! It also took her an HOUR to just cut my hair! I would not recommend this place to anyone for haircuts!

I can’t believe I haven’t written a review of Maria Yari Salon yet! I’m there every month!
She has always done my eyebrows and done them well. Since I suffer from the South Asian curse of hair-​everywhere, and the Houston humidity doesn’t help, I’m more than grateful that I have Maria to call upon for touch ups and other hair issues.
She was formerly at Priya’s Salon, and when I heard she opened her own salon, I thought, hoo to the ray, I’m there! Sorry, Priyas!
So, I trek out to MYS once a month to get my eyebrows done, my face managed, and my arms waxed. Maria does it all, and she does it well. No joke. She is worth the drive outside of the loop and the beltway!
And, you know I’m an inner-​looper with taste ;)

Best person to do your eyebrows!!! I have been going to her for years and have never been disappointed! I love her new salon! It’s so pretty!!!

Never have I met someone with such quick hands for hair removal. Whether it’s threading or waxing it will never take you longer than 30 minutes in and out of Maria’s salon or really more than 10 minutes a service. She used to work at Priya’s salon until she opened her own shop earlier this year. I have referred countless friends here and they continue to come back. What she does with a person’s eyebrows should be considered artwork. Also, her prices are fair and the salon is clean.
